ume that the coils were of equal resistance. Itwas immaterial what the voltmeter indicated so long as it indi-cated something, and the same something for each coil. The engineer did not wholly take in this reasoning, and hisface showed it. Whereupon Jones relapsed into diagrams, draw-ing Fig. 4.… … FIG. 4- has a resistance of 3 ohms, what will be the voltage at its termi-nals? The engineer wrote E = C XR. If C = 1 and i? = 3, then E =: i X 3, or ij. One and a half volts, he answered. Now, suppose the coil had practically no resistance But that isnt possible, interrupted the engineer. No; but…
